Of course I do, as my point is that fiction is ficiton. Its not based in reality. My backup is every book in Borders in the science fiction section.
Wrong... those books do NOT say all swords are perfectly equal or any item of the such without a reason. Even in D&D you can find weapons of varying types. You just can't grasp that what you are saying is UNRealistic fantasy.

If you can show me, one instance where a real elf isn't 100ft tall with glowing pink noses I'll shut up and apologize.
The point is a statement such as this is UNRealistic fantasy because it contradicts all other fantasy facts about elves. Saying all fire swords are perfect duplicates without any reason is the same as me writing that anytime OG_Gleep plays a nation in Dominions his troops are all bald and without teeth.

Theres no such thing as unrealistic fantasy.
Realistic fantasy is as simple as saying wizards use magic.
UNRealistic fantasy is as simple as saying wizards only melee fight in battle.
Sorry you can't grasp this.

You can buy that we can sacrafice virgins for units, turn gems into mythical creatures, create magic items but ........
Yes, each example you listed can be backed up by fantasy lore unlike your belief in all enchanted spears being perfect duplicates. As explained earlier the identical enchanted spears within Dominions is done because it simplifies programming and reduces micromanagement.
